Got a notification in the autopilot app about the new SDK and that they hope to have a new build this weekend. Really impressed with Autopilot's work on all of this. Great work guys! Look forward to it.

Why dont DJI employ/buy AutoPilot???

That way.........
1. They will give customer what they want
2. Things would get things done and in a good time scale
3. Customer satisfaction would be excellent
4. There would be next to no bitching on every forum about them

Just a thought

Some users are reporting that they were able to update to this firmware from the 1.3.0 production firmware, and use it with the current build of Autopilot.

I'm on the dji dev site but can't find the updated SDK?? Found it!

@Autoflight Logic - Any news when you may get the new SDK firmware up on your site, don't want to try the one from the dev site as I was too hasty last time.

Same here! Would like the new SDK as well. I can't seem to find a **** thing on the Dev sight even though I am approved.

Hi, I installed it on phantom 3 inspire1 that the new firmware FW_V01.04.0001 and I must say that autopilot recognizes the drones and works without problems but I've noticed that if you start the app dji -go to make adjustments then I close the application that is absolutely not in the background and i open the program autopilot does not recognize the drones , so I have to turn off the drones and remote turn on drones and remote controls and you start the app autopilot with this procedure are recognized , the autopita and ' fantastic and works well with the latest changes and ' very easy to get working compliments to the programmer , greetings from Emanuele Italy

We aren't going to distribute it until we have time to test it internally. Our goal is by the weekend.

where? I clicked on the download link and get redirected to the chinese main page of developer. I have level 1, should I first apply for level 2 to get access?

We are going to add a gimbal reset button to the next build to see if that works for you

Sorry, but the same problem. It only worked 2 times out of 15 tries in focus mode-POI.
And a few times it did reset at disengaging.

Not sure why I cant navigate to the SDK downloads, but here is a link I found if anyone wants to try the 1.04 SDK. Looking to upgrade today, unless I hear otherwise!

lake_flyer · Aug 13, 2015

you beat me with 4 minutes. I just found http://dev.dji.com/en/products/sdk/mobile-sdk/downloads coincidently a few minutes ago

lake_flyer · Aug 13, 2015

But is it safe to upgrade to the new SDK with resp. to Autopilot beta test?
I'll better wait for Autoflightlogic to give the green light.

tomtnt · Aug 13, 2015

the firmware is basically the current public firmware+support for SDK v2.3. I mean, sooner or later Autpoilot will have to update their app to support the new SDK.
